On the attachedment the dimensions on the right is what the program is giving me and the dimensions on the left is what it should look like. This code works just fine in Desingcad 14 however seems to not work for some reason with the later versions tried both desingcad 23 and 2016.

If your code was written for Dcad14 and it has problems with later versions, the problem may be due to the changes in dims that were made about V17 or V18 to make Dcad more compatible to Acad for dims. DT will have more info for you and this is just a guess by me.

I realize macro code is different from VB6 code, but possibly if you record a macro and place the dimension as you would like it to be, the recorded macro will show all the parameters needed to draw such a dimension.

In case anybody has this same problem and discovers this thread in a few years time, I figured out late last night it is caused by running the dcdimext.draw command in silent mode. Change silent mode to false before running DcDimExt.Draw and back to true afterwards.
